For what it's worth, I configure devices on an Emdebian system using some 
commands provided in the following script:

http://hgweb.boddie.org.uk/qi-emdebian/file/tip/qi-emdebian-postsetup#l76

I did look at the device table documentation but couldn't really figure it 
out, or maybe I just thought that the mknod commands were more transparent; I 
don't really remember which now.
